Thanks Leslie, I set up the test conference with the wrong dates but the real one has the right ones. I hope I get to see you this year!
So here's where we are right now: all we're really waiting on is translations, Luisa, Maybe, and Eric, have been working hard on this and it's really close to being done. We're at 91% for French and 98% for Spanish. I also had a volunteer copy-writer go through the English and make some edits which look good to me.
I'm going to be honeymooning in the Boston area for the next week or so, I'm flying out tomorrow and I'll be back on the west coast a week from Tuesday. I'm bringing my computer and I expect to be launching registration from there but I'm not going to be able to dedicate extended amounts of time. You'll still be able to contact me through email or phone (206-327-3772) so please feel free to do so.
Cheers,godwin

Subject: Re: [Bike!Bike! Organizing] Registration and some other stuffThe website looks really good! The topics are well organized and thorough. I haven't had a chance to pretend to register, alas. The page I am seeing says April instead of August at the top, tho...It looks like I might have to work an event in Detroit and be unable to attend this year, but fingers crossed I can get covered!Leslie

Objet : Re: [Bike!Bike! Organizing] Registration and some other stuffHi Godwin,I'm in Chicago and will not regularly have internet access again until Monday. I do this morning and I can't get logged in to change the front page text, or logged in to the test bench, as I am not receiving the confirmation email.

Hey folks, the new registration process in almost ready and Graham has been helping to test however it would be great to get some more feedback and suggestions for copy changes before getting the content translated into French and Spanish. You can view the screen captures once logged into the workbench here: https://workbe
nch.bikecollectives.org/apps/b . You can also test the process itself on the preview server here: https://preview-en.bikebikebike/pages/conferences/regi ster ike.org/
Feel free to create fake accounts, you can create as many as you like by inserting '+anything' before your email address' @ symbol. For example I might use goodgodwin+test1@hotmail.com, or goodgodwin+somethingelse@hotma
il.com , any emails I get will be sent to goodgodwin@hotmail.com.
A few things to keep in mind:
- PayPal payments are set up and will charge your account if you make one
- Admin tools need some updates, don't expect these to work right now but they will be working by the time you need to use them
- Questions are different depending on your answers, for example, you will be asked if you can house attendees but not be asked if you need housing if you enter your location as Winnipeg
Feel free to email me feedback, discuss it here, or comment on the workbench. If you feel like making copy changes you can also do this on the workbench in the English translations or just send me the changes that you'd like to see.
Front page
- Can we get an updated image for the poster? The one on the site is low resolution and fairly grainy.
- The language on the description contains several obscenities. Although most attendees wouldn't bat an eye at this I would suggest modifying this as there will be people of all ages and faiths that may attend and may be offended by this language. In addition, there will be people travelling internationally and the language may make the conference appear less legitimate to border security or organizations helping to fund travel.
- When can we expect to get a Spanish translation for the conference description? I can help by contacting Spanish translators if you need help with this
- I plan to break up the conference description into more sections so that we can reduce the content on the front page and make extended details available on the conference details page. Does anyone have any issues with this?
Regarding English copy, would it be better for me to work one-on-one with someone? Would someone like to volunteer to do this?
Cheers!
Godwin
